This week we will be focusing on subtraction!

By the end of the week we should demonstrate that we know how to take away using:•Concrete resources i.e objects•Number lines•10s frames•Number bonds

Starter“I had 16 gold coins and captain hook took 7 of them away from me? How

many do I have left?”

Think back to when we did addition last week.

What methods can you use to help you work out the answer.

Here are some of the different methods we could have used to work it out...

“The answer to both these number sentences will be the same because the numbers in them are the same.”

Is Polly the Parrot right? Explain your answer.

TaskUsing objects to subtract

Examples: Pasta shells, pencils or counters.

Using your objects, can you work out the following:

5-2=10-7=12-5=15-4=11-4=19-1=

Can you give these word problems a go?

If you had 12 parrots and 2 of them flew away, how many would you have left?

I saw 17 pirate ships with my telescope. Five of them had green sails and the rest were red. How many sails were red?

Can you find five ways to make 7 using subtraction

10-3=7

7 - ?

8 - ?

Example

Starter

What do you notice?

10-3=7

7 – 0=7

8 – 1=7

9-2=7

11-4=7

12-5=7

Here are some of different the ways.

Subtracting using a number line

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

Step 1:Read the number sentence: 14-7=

Step 2:Point at the first number from the number sentence, on your number line.14

Step 3:Count back the amount it says for the second number. You will need to make 7 jumps backwards.-7

Step 5:The number you have landed on is the answer.

7 6 5 4 3 2 1

How can we answer this question?

How do we know what the missing number is?

To find the missing number we need to count the amount of jumps we make before we land on 1.

Can you work it out?

How many jumps did we make?

Jumps

7-6=1

Let’s draw number lines!Task

You will be drawing your very own number lines in the playground with chalk!

If you are completing this at home, you can write your numbers on paper and place them in a line on the floor.

You will then be working out the number sentences by doing the jumps yourself! Some of the number sentences will be addition and some will be take away. Don’t forget to take notice of the symbol. (-) (+)

Your Turn

Can you complete the following number sentences using your own number line?

10-4=8-3=19-5=20-4=18-11=16-8=

Can you create a word problem for your friend to complete using their number line?

10-4=68-3=5

Explain Your Reasoning!Pearl the pirate says,

‘If you take away any odd number from 20 you will always get an odd

number.’

Is she right? Explain your reasoning!

Use your whiteboards to prove it.

We will be using all the different methods we have learnt, to complete our addition and subtraction number sentences...
